@KitCallahan . the good thing about a dislike like "Doesn't like Rockclimbing" is that it is easy to ignore ! The real problem is when the game throws you a "Likes Rockclimbing" at you! Then you know of something that will make them happy and yet you can't possibly fit it into their home! 😧😓
I had a little girls that liked Rocket Science. It probably made no difference, but I used cheat to unlock a completed model rocket (from the Parenthood Game Pack) that is originally part of the teens homework projects they can bring home. I also used a cheat to place the first volume of the Rocket Science skill book on her desk. There was just no way I could get the real rocket into her bedroom! 🚀 🤣 At least I didn't fail the gig!
As for other weird requests I had a client who lived on Sulani who loved Skiing! So I put a couple pairs of skis in her room! She loved it! 🙌
Despite what you write I have done several of the more expensive gigs with great success apart from some Level Add-ons in apartments which there are bug reports on not working properly. I do these by sending my sim alone to these since she has excellent performance and reputation (from only ever failing one gig because I didn't read the description carefully) she always get at least a passed on these.
@Psychotps , don't get me wrong... I do think it could have been done better and I hope they make changes. 🤞 I don't expect them to other than fix the apartment issue.
And even if there had been a violin painting that doesn't mean they would have tagged it for "violin". I don't even know if the skill book counted or not, but it made me feel better knowing I did all I could do. 😄
But I actually think putting a violin book in the bathroom makes perfect sense.... many people read in the bathroom, and a book on how to play the violin is better than having nothing to read at all! 😉😂
@PugLove888 my first gig with the interior design career was a bitter old woman. I had my Sim follow around this woman to ask her questions for ideas. When sitting on the couch, I THOUGHT I got her...yeah no. She gave me no design route, only useful information was she liked red before walking away for the 4th time. I'm thinking in my head, "lady...you requested a renovation..i didnt barge in to force this on you."
In comes this male adult who became a kinda-sorta-teeth grinding yet useful person to interview. I got from him: likes bowling, likes dancing, hate gardening. Still no decor route but whatever. I spent 4 and half sim hours chasing down that woman.
I remade a bare bedroom. I used a dance floor as a "rug" and that amp thingy that plays music was red so I tucked it in the corner. Used a few items like a retro clock, a bowling pin to set on the dresser and a cool picture of a strike out. The color scheme was a retro black and red that had me blown how nice it looked. Lol. That woman though...😐
by the time those two people came back for the reveal I'm not sure if I did something or the game kicked me out to do the "event" where you 'show this object', 'ask how is looks' etc. Dont know what they're ultimate reaction was but the game told me i did a good job and received 545ish simeleons.
*shrug* I did like the challenge after cooling down with no ultimate design direction.
